Actino Document Rights Management

    Cloud- / Web-based Services for
    Document Rights Management,
    Tracking and Secure Distribution

    To control distributed content is critical for
    enterprises as well as publishers.

    Companies need to make sure that confidential material
    cannot be opened by not authorized users.

    Publishers do want their valuable documents or content
    to be protected against copying.

    The demand to secure documents is always the same,
    but workflows and type of permissions are different.

    Actino DRM Server is a configurable platform solution containing
    a database to manage documents, users or permissions, and
    several application scripts to manage and automate the processes.

    Based on open industry standards like SQL and PHP provides
    all features to encrypt PDF or office documents, to log requests,
    and interfaces to Active Directory (AD) and APIs for
    workflow application or webservices.


    Digital Rights Management and Tracking

    In DRM or IRM solutions the documents get encrypted,
    but the key to open the file is saved in the publishers or
    enterprises permission server.
    Every time when a user tries to open a file, a requests is
    submitted to the webserver so the publisher has full control.
    The document owner can grant or revoke permissions any time.


    Online or offline

    The Actino DRM Server supports online or offline control.
    In an online scenario the user must be online and
    the permission server always available for requests in
    the Internet or Intranet.

    When offline is required the permission server generates
    an encrypted offline key with the users machine ID.
    By this the document is locked to the users computer,
    but can be opened until expiration without being online.


    Watermarking

    A popular feature to protect files are watermarks
    placing text for personalization on the page.
    This additional content appears on screen or on printout and
    can contain several static or dynamic data like time or date.

    Actino DRM Server allows to specify individual templates for
    watermarks on top or below the page content.

    Publishers can add all kind of text to identify the source,
    the current status or the owner of files.

      specific user or a user group requires a database to save the

      Any change is immediately valid for the whole group.
